Breien's first feature film as director was the 2007 movie The Art of Negative Thinking, a dark comedy about adjusting to life in a wheel chair and socializing with other people who have disabilities. The film won Breien a Crystal Globe award for best director at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic.[1] The movie's main character is despondent about his predicament in a wheelchair "and spends much of his time drinking, smoking pot and watching Vietnam War movies".[2] The Art of Negative Thinking has been shown at numerous international film festivals and a Variety article described it as being about a "therapy rebellion".[3]
